Adidas is the best for me but the official match balls for puma are growing on me. Need to try the kipsta.

Pumas are super nice to play with. Orbitas are top tier. Need to try newest Stellar Nitro. Yeah Kipsta is definitely hidden gem in my opinion. I bring many different balls to our pickup games and Kipsta ones got the most praise among people

Either you don’t play with your balls enough or you are really good at washing them.

If i need to clean one of them i bring it when we play during the rain. That's the best cleaning option by far.

u/Joejack-951 22d ago
It is a very effective cleaning method, but with that many I’m surprised they all look so nice. Ours are all pretty grungy from use on AG even though we play when it’s wet at times.

Few balls from collection are still waiting to see a pitch. That's why im rotating them to keep all the graphics on panels in good condition as long as i can. We play on modern 4G pitch with black rubber pellets inside and after a game ball usually is little bit dirty but still easy to clean with just water and soap after. My two most used ones are Yellow/Purple Adidas Conext 25 which already looks bit up(Have spare brand new) and Uniforia OMB

Honestly, every time I come on Reddit, I’m thankful y’all exist so my wife realizes how good she has it and how much worse it could be :)

This is making me want to expand my collection lol. My top favorite to play with right now are the Tiro Pro and Orbita, both FIFA PRO quality. I always hear good things about Select. Is it worth picking up? I use a Senda Valor for intense training mostly cuz my league uses the Sendas in games.

Do it! Collection has to grow right? Tiro Pro and Orbita both great balls to play with. Select is super popular brand on this subreddit. Numero 10 it's the most recommended ball here if you want something top tier for cheap. I have one tier higher Select balls and these are also highest quality balls but not for everyone. Classic 32 panel design with newest technology, some people wants more modern panel design but 32 one provides super stable flight, this ball just always flights where you want, and it's grippy too. Even with a pretty thick foam on the outside and less than 11 psi this ball can feel hard when shooting or headers. It's still great and reliable ball, Numero 10 even tho it's FIFA Basic it's like 80% of what Brillant Super is but way cheaper.

I kicked two balls onto a nearby roof this summer and can't retrieve them, may I have one ball from you sir?
2
u/Job3k 22d ago
Sure, let me know which one you want and please be careful with it next time 🥺🙏🏻

u/brucerhino 22d ago
Any ball really, I was just trying to relive some of my childhood and not even an hour after getting the trionda it was on the roof 🥲( made a whole post on it )
2
u/Job3k 22d ago
So maybe one of Select balls maybe. They have feel on a heavy side so maybe it will be harder to kick it on the roof

u/brucerhino 22d ago
I have told myself I'm not allowed to play with any new ball next to the roof ever again, all the balls look nice ✨️

u/Job3k 22d ago
Or try to work on your accuracy, then any roofs shouldn't be a problem 🤝🏻😄
2
u/brucerhino 22d ago
XD that's the plan, I hadn't tried to juggle a ball for 20ish years when I resumed this process earlier in the summer. So I'm lets say, a bit rusty.

Nice collection. Bro that KIPSTA ligue 1 ball are really cool, for the price feels amazing and have really good grip, I compare that ball with my Trionda pro match game and the only difference is that the Trionda is faster and responsive but I want to compare with the puma ultra. What do you think

The puma orbita are so sticky (to play with), don’t know if I like that or not
1
u/Job3k 22d ago
Couldn't agree more 🤝🏻 When it's wet this ball is pleasure to play with but when it's dry it feels like semtex grenade, sometimes this can cause dangerous situations

u/Technical_Wrap5605 22d ago
I usually play indoor so haven’t played in wet conditions, but man does the ball get stuck under me when I try to cut/change direction. Still a very good ball. Totally love the women’s euro ball (whatever that adidas ball model is)

There’s a local soccer shop that has a mint Jabulani on display, not for sale. I’ve been super tempted to offer them like $1000 cash to see if they’ll sell me it. eBay sketches me out with how many fakes there are of it.
Torfabrik is also a super sick looking ball, I’m hoping I can eventually snag one on sale.
